Few facts about our festivals. This is about #MakarSankranti
I have learned -Vitamin D is made by the body with sunlight.
Sesame seeds (til) have the highest calcium (975mg per 100g). Milk has 125mg only.
The body is capable of storing vitamin D up to a year,
1/4
and use the reserves.
Lastly, the body is capable of getting its vitamin D reserves full with 3 full days of sunlight.
The best quality of sunlight is end of winter & beginning of summer.
Now join the dots, and see how wise our sages were in ancient India. 2/4
They created a festival of flying kites where by our kids get excited to go in the open, under direct sunlight, throughout the day starting from early morning. And their mothers feed them homemade TIL ladoos.
Are we not a fantastic culture? 😊

Congress party secret MoU with chinese communists was signed in 2008.
Then Air Chief Marshal Mr Pranab Kumar exposed Congress MoU with China..
After I was appointed Air Chief in 2008, I noticed that the Daulat Beg Air Base project was stalled for 43 years!
1/n
When we inquired about what was happening, we got the reply that *our rulers would not give permission for that airbase because they were afraid of China!*
But every year an amount is allocated in the Budget, but the Army does not receive the amount!
2/n
But I built that air base, without informing the then Government, not even the then Defense Minister, AK Antony!
After the work was completed, when the Chinese Government informed the rulers of India, they got to know the information!
